Beware! Spoilers for New Phyrexia: All Will be One follow!

My speculation: "Invasion Tree Realmbreaker" (see Discover: New Phyrexia ) will break through the Blind Eternities and create permanent pathways between planes. This will mean that the creative restriction of only using planeswalkers on multiple planes will be lifted and we'll get to see legendary creatures moving to different planes if it serves the story.

Update: It took me until right now to realize, that this is a nifty interpretation of "All Will Be One": All Planes Will Be One.

Elesh Norn's vision to stitch all creatures together into one being extended to all worlds is actually a clever twist.

The art has told us that we'll at least see this happen during March of the Machines. Flavorfully, I think it'd be cool to see some characters find new places to vibe to without having to have the planeswalker card type. On the other hand, this could bring up the question of "why isn't X plane doing Y thing if they have contact with other planes."

We also don't know what the consequences of the fallout of March of the Machines will be yet. They could be something that only a minority, if any, have predicted.

Speaking of nifty interpretations, I like the implications of Dominaria being United when facing Phyrexians. Makes you think they might... All become one.

I'm expecting more of an Endgame/Tarkir time travel change. In All Will Be One and March of the Machine, we see the multiverse fall to New Phyrexia. Then in Aftermath, they time travel back to stop Phyrexia from spreading in the first place. Sacrificing Karn during the original Invasion prevents Mirrodin from being corrupted in the first place, so New Phyrexia never forms, and the multiverse is saved. Then the returns to Eldraine and Ixalan showcase how the multiverse is similar but different to how it used to be

🤔

I could see that happening, but I think I would be disappointed.

It seems the "time travel moment" of this story line will be Brother's War. It doesn't seem likely or narratively satisfying to use time travel to set up the all out war and to conclude it - in an epilogue even.
